At the Royal Legion in Lymington, we recently completed a full flooring refurbishment within the pool and snooker room to improve both appearance and long-term performance. The existing carpet had become worn after years of regular use, and once it was removed, significant damage to the subfloor was uncovered. Rather than simply replacing the surface flooring, our team provided a complete solution that addressed both the visible finish and the underlying structural issues, ensuring the space would remain safe, comfortable, and durable for daily use.

During the initial assessment, the venue explained that the room needed a refreshed, more welcoming appearance for members and guests. There were also concerns about unevenness beneath the existing carpet, which was confirmed once the flooring was uplifted. The subfloor had suffered noticeable deterioration and required repair to prevent further issues and to ensure the new carpet could be installed correctly and perform as intended over time. In addition, the space is used daily for snooker, pool, and social events, so the new flooring needed to offer comfort underfoot while being robust enough to cope with frequent footfall and the movement of furniture.

After removing and disposing of the old, tired carpet, we carried out a full investigation of the exposed subfloor. Multiple damaged and weakened areas were identified and repaired, with additional strengthening carried out where required. The surface was then latex levelled to create a smooth, stable base, before being primed to ensure strong adhesion for the new floor covering. Proper subfloor preparation at this stage was essential to achieve a long-lasting and professional finish.

With the base fully prepared, we installed a high-quality commercial carpet designed specifically for use in busy social and leisure environments. This carpet was selected for its durability under heavy footfall, comfort for regular use, resistance to wear around pool and snooker tables, and ease of ongoing maintenance. The new flooring instantly transformed the room, giving it a cleaner, more modern appearance while improving comfort for members and visitors.

The completed refurbishment has provided the Royal Legion with a strong, level, and fully repaired floor that will perform reliably over time. The new carpet has significantly improved the look and feel of the space, creating a more inviting environment that supports daily use and social events.
